I loved it when I was younger, but I had trouble recommending it more recently because its tone is adjacent to personally attacking people who like Java.
As I get older, I do tend to be more conciliatory, but I do think that even the people who like Java are perpetuating pain and struggle for others that will have to learn some lessons the hard way.
Agree, but it helps to remember that it’s a product of its time. Feels like we’re overdue for a similar piece poking fun at Node/JavaScript and all of its foibles.
